Welcome to The Ridgefield Park Early Childhood Preschool Program

Welcome to the Ridgefield Park Early Childhood Program (Universal Preschool).

We are delighted to begin this new educational journey with you and your child. We understand that preschool is a significant milestone in your child's life. Early childhood education is a powerful tool that fosters children's growth and development, setting the stage that fosters a love of learning.  Early childhood programs give your children a foundation for academic, social, and emotional growth.  It also cultivates and promotes essential problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking skills.

We currently have two providers with four provider classrooms serving 60 children and we are looking to grow to accommodate more of our youngest learners for the 2024-2025 school year. We are excited about the 2023-2024 school year and all the wonderful experiences that await your child.

See you in September!


Warm regards,
